KFC Colonel Sanders Funko Pop Comes with a Bucket of Chicken

Posted on by

As a child of the ’80s, I fondly remember Colonel Sanders – the real one, not this new actor every other commercial weirdness KFC is up to these days. All the real Sanders wanted you to do was come to eat some chicken made from his secret family recipe of 11 herbs and spices.

This Funko Pop figure of the classic Colonel Sanders has his glasses from the old commercials and carries a little plastic bucket of fried chicken. Original recipe, not extra crispy.

 

The figure is officially-licensed KFC merchandise, and ThinkGeek will sell you tiny Sanders for $12.99. While you contemplate your purchase, here’s a commercial to stoke that ’80s nostalgia and verify this is the old Sanders, not that creepy new one.

KFC Colonel Sanders Bearskin Rug: Whatthef*cky Fried Chicken

Posted on by

If you’re looking for a creepy gift for the KFC lover in your life this Valentine’s Day, this Colonel Sanders Bearskin rug will be a gift they never ever forget. It’s not real bearskin, so don’t worry PETA. Still, that doesn’t make it any less horrifying.

Okay, I lied. You can’t really get your hands on one. Apparently, three of the rugs were given away in separate Reddit contests where entrants had to draw, Photoshop, or write the rug into a scene. This would be great for couples who love sitting by the fire and eating some greasy KFC with some champagne. And if you get it on, it’s technically a threesome since the Colonel is under you.

But hey, if you like eating greasy chicken and then doing the nasty on top of a Colonel Sanders bearskin rug, you have some problems. I’m not judging, but seriously, get some help. There’s nothing sexy about greasy chicken. Or the Colonel.

What does it say about their food that they have to sell it using stuff like this? I’m just saying, if people wanted it, it would sell itself. What’s wrong with you KFC?

KFC Made a Candle That Smells Like Gravy

Posted on by

KFC UK apparently loves their gravy. They love it so much that they want your room will be filled with the smell of their signature gravy. Seems kind of weird to me without any mashed potatoes. Even if you love the gravy, do you really want the lingering smell of gravy in your home? Well, if you do, check this out.

The gravy candle is free, but there’s a catch. Only 230 candles are being offered and one could be yours if you are lucky enough. If you are in the UK or Ireland, just go to this page and you can enter to win a KFC Gravy Scented Candle of your very own to make your house smell like KFC. And when you burn this candle you can get the full KFC experience thanks to the KFChill experience, which lets you immerse yourself in the sounds of frying chicken, falling fries, or simmering gravy.

These are great companion sound effects to go with this gravy-scented candle. Even better, have yourself a KFC meal while your candle burns. I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of this candle, but let’s be honest, it’s only purpose is a marketing scheme. Might as well enjoy the real thing if you like KFC.

This KFC Firelog Smells Like Fried Chicken

Posted on by

KFC knows how to celebrate the holiday season. This year when you sit down by the fire, put one of these fried chicken-scented logs on. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to eat one, but it sure smells good. If you don’t have any fried chicken, burning these in your fireplace will make you want some for sure.

It is called the “KFC 11 Herbs and Spices firelog.” Light it up, smell KFC chicken. The logs will set you back $18.99 each, and are only available while supplies last. This would make a pretty funny Christmas gift, so get one while you can.

It is the latest in KFC’s often bizarre marketing strategy. “At KFC, we have always been proud of our role in bringing loved ones together at the dinner table around a bucket of our world-famous fried chicken,” Andrea Zahumensky, KFC US’ CMO, said. “Now, this winter we’re bringing all the things we love – family, friends and fried chicken – together around the fire with our scented firelog.

All I know is that Santa is going to be sad when he smells this, and there’s no chicken.

KFC Giving Away Drones with Chicken Wings: Kentucky Fried Flyer

Posted on by

Remember when all that Colonel Sanders did was make chicken? Those were simpler days. These days KFC actually sells the occasional crazy product as well in addition to its fried birds. The latest crazy product is the KFO drone. AKA PR stunt. It is made in collaboration with drone company Circuit Breaker. As usual, we won’t be seeing it around these parts, but KFC customers in India will soon be able to order food and also get a free drone. Pretty cool, right?

This special deal comes along with KFC’s Smoky Grilled Wings. The drone components will be packaged in the box with the chicken. Once the drone has been assembled by your greasy chicken hands, just connect it to Bluetooth and control it using a smartphone. The KFO drones will only be available for a couple of days this week, so they’ll be gone quickly.

A drone seems more useful than KFC’s Internet escape pod anyway. There is no plan to release the KFO drone in any other countries, which is a shame because American would love to get a drone with some chicken. Why no love for America KFC? Our greasy chicken fingers need a drone too.
